Paradime develops your dbt™ project directly against a connected Git repository. Each workspace connects to one repository. The connection gives Paradime read and write access to your code, so you can develop in the Code IDE, run schedules in Bolt, use CI/CD, and run DinoAI agents. You manage the connection on one page: Settings → Git Repository.

​
Choose how Paradime connects

When you connect a repository, you first choose your Git provider. For GitHub and GitLab, you then choose how Paradime connects. For a step-by-step comparison of every path, see Importing a repository. Other providers, such as Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, use the deploy key.
The deploy key is stable. It stays the same across page refreshes until you regenerate it. A workspace on the GitHub App or the GitLab connection keeps its deploy key on file, so it can switch back to SSH at any time.
A deploy key connection that you save without testing shows as Pending verification. The Code IDE, Bolt, and DinoAI stay inactive until you verify it. See Verify a pending connection.

​
The connected repository

When a workspace is connected, the page shows a Repository card with three rows:
  • Provider: the Git platform, such as GitHub or GitLab.
  • Connected with: the method, such as Deploy key (SSH), GitHub App with the installation it uses, or GitLab connection.
  • Repository: a link to the repository.
The Default git branch card sets the branch that Paradime uses to generate the catalog and as the base branch for Git Lite. To connect the workspace to a different repository, click Change repository. See Update connected git repository.

Connect through the GitHub App

Clone over HTTPS with no deploy key, and push as yourself.

Connect through the GitLab connection

Clone a gitlab.com or GitLab Self-Managed project over HTTPS, with no deploy key.

Importing a repository

Compare every path, and connect with an SSH Git URL and a deploy key.

Update connected repository

Disconnect the workspace and connect another repository.

​
Supported Git providers

Paradime works with every major Git provider. Each provider has its own guide under Integrations:

GitHub

Connect through the GitHub App, or add a deploy key to a GitHub repository.

GitLab

Connect gitlab.com or GitLab Self-Managed through a GitLab connection, or add a deploy key to a GitLab project.

BitBucket

Connect a BitBucket Cloud or Server repository.

Azure DevOps

Connect an Azure DevOps repository.
